Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 122 This is "Li Yan"

The "Sanlijing" is integrated with the Confucian Temple. Because the Confucian Temple is dilapidated, the "Sanlijing" is not fully manifested.

The main part of Chen Jin's "Li Gong Pian" learned was "Yong Zi Ba Jian", a set of rather mysterious sword techniques.

This is easy to understand.

A man should carry a three-foot sword to make an indelible feat.

To make meritorious deeds requires the matching and support of force.

If you don't have the strength to restrain a chicken, it means that when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why, but when he encounters a problem, he has no choice but to jump his feet;

What about Liyan?
Before, Chen Jin had obtained the relevant formulas from the lines of the Confucian Temple portal. With continuous study, he gradually mastered the profound meanings, and finally condensed the form of such a huge book, which contains countless pages.

But these are blank pages, without a single word.

This is the meaning of asking Chen Jin to write the content.

This is "Li Yan".

What should I write?What else can I write?
That's the point.

The key to the word "Liyan" lies in the first word "Li".

The so-called "standing" means that it can be erected, stand firm, and be well-known.

Word of mouth is not self-talk, it naturally involves communication, to let others know your existence, to make others follow your articles, to impress others, to remember you...

The larger the audience, the better, so that it can be regarded as standing.

If you work behind closed doors, shut yourself in the room, no matter how many things you write, no matter how good your writing is, if it is not read or accepted by others, everything you write will lose its value.

To put it nicely, it's called "Admiration of the Lonely Beauty", and to put it badly, it's called "Worthless".

In view of this, from the very beginning, Chen Jin excluded those esoteric and difficult classics.Who can be attracted to read the "Book of Changes", "Tao Te Ching" and so on by an unknown person?
If you are not careful, you will be attacked as heresy and heresy.

Poems and poems belong to the mainstream, but they also need a suitable background stage for display. Like Chen Jin's situation, he can't copy each one and then distribute flyers everywhere.Or run to a tall building, or on a boat, and read aloud to others?

I'm afraid it's not a neuropathy.

It may even be plagiarized.

In this world, doing things for people requires a logical relationship.

Therefore, he just excerpted some classic words and sentences, expressed them in the form of calligraphy, and hung them in the store for sale, hoping to meet the appreciation of caring people, and then open the situation.

However, the reality is cruel, and no one cares about it so far.

I have no choice but to pull back my face again and write "Boundless Wind and Moon Xiao Xiao Xia".For this article, he is quite confident and feels that it will definitely be welcomed by the public.

The biggest worry is whether "Li Yan Pian" will be recognized or not.

It was only when I saw the blank page reflected word by word like a mirror image that I felt relieved.

Immediately, new doubts arose, what exactly is the inclusion standard of "Li Yan Pian"?

He once tried to write indiscriminately, or use vulgar writing, but in the end it didn't work, and he couldn't show it in "Li Yan Pian".

Also, it is not acceptable to copy the existing works of Qian Dynasty.

Combining all kinds of things, we can figure out some rules:

First: To write originality (transport the content from another world, and here, it will be regarded as original, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, the time and space have changed.)
Second: You need to have a certain level.As for the form of the subject matter and the plot of the story, there are no rigid requirements.

Therefore, "Boundless Wind and Moon Xiao Xiao Xia" is also acceptable.

This book is known as one of the four great books. Its artistic content is not low, and it is not on the same level as ordinary hand-to-hand combat scenes. Only when you look at it with a critical eye can you discover the depth and breadth of it.

From this point of view, "Li Yan Pian" is quite open-minded, understanding that what the common people like to hear and see, and what is easy to understand, are good things, not some moralists who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but are actually full of male prostitutes and female robbers.

Hypocrisy to the extreme.

As for the author's signature, there is no problem. Chen Jin has tested it, and "Li Yan Pian" recognizes his real name, so open the vest casually.

The real name belongs to the concept of practice, mysterious and mysterious, life and death are at stake.In the Wuzhu secret law system, there is a taboo saying that one should not reveal one's real name, so as not to be caught in a conspiracy and be called a ghost.

In fact, it can also be included in the method of "visualization and induction".

For example, if I suddenly call your name, you will subconsciously answer, which is the way of "induction".

As for shouting, whether the soul can be called away depends on the actual situation, and the comparison of the identities and strengths of the two parties will be affected by many factors.

All in all, apart from his real name, no matter what name Chen Jin chooses for himself, whether it is "a person in this way", "Xiaoxiaosheng", or others, it will not affect the collection function of "Li Yan Pian".

Poems and long novels are reflected in "Li Yan Pian", but the current state is mediocre, and there is no literary charm.

Next, we have to look at the book rental business.

As it turns out, it's not easy to get known without advertising.

As the saying goes, "The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley", and the aroma of the wine must be emitted, and people will be able to attract people if they smell it.

However, bookstore management does not have that kind of objective conditions.

In the next few days, the days were still dull, few customers came to the store, and the business was bleak.

Chen Jin was calm, but Chu Xiucai was in a hurry. Copying books here is delicious and delicious, and the wages are settled every day. There is no better job than this.If Sanwei Bookstore is going to close down due to poor management, will they not be unemployed?
But Chu Xiucai could only be in a hurry, and couldn't help at all, except copying books diligently.

Time passed, and the temple fair on August 28 was getting closer and closer. Confucian Temple Street became much more lively, with many temporary stalls added, and there were even jugglers, attracting many children to watch.

Chu Xiucai stared at him hotly: "Young master, are you really going to buy some ingot incense candles in the store? We can sell them outside the door."

After this period of time, his sense of belonging to Sanwei Bookstore has skyrocketed. Although he is a helper who copies books, he will actively help with other affairs as long as he can do it.I feel sorry for the sumptuous lunch if I don't help to do it.

Chen Jin said: "Stop joining in the fun."

Chu Xiucai said "Oh", and felt quite a pity, seeing that the money was not earned, it was really a waste.

Although it is not harmonious to place incense and ingots in bookstores, everyone else does it.

Make money, not shabby.

It's just that no matter how you look at it, Chen Jin doesn't look like he wants to make money, he's too indifferent.

Well, his family must be very rich, and he opened this shop mostly out of interest, or to practice his skills.

You can tell by looking at the food. For ordinary people, who can afford that meal?
Chu Xiucai didn't dare to ask too much, because his family background was private, and if others didn't tell him, he would just ask questions by himself, which would only arouse resentment.

No matter what, he still hopes to see that the bookstore can make money and the business is booming.

"Huh, Sanwei Bookstore? The name is very strange, remember that it used to be called 'Old Bookstore'?"

"It should be that the boss has changed. The shop here often changes people, and the business is not good."

"Renting books? It's a new thing, let's go in and see what's new."

Amidst the voices, a group of people filed in.

When Chu Xiucai saw it, she couldn't help showing joy.It is said that since the bookstore opened, it has never had so many customers at one time, and it is rare to have two or three people.Sure enough, it was the spring breeze of the temple fair that drove the traffic.

"Huh? Why are you?"

The man yelled, with a bad tone.

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Young Master Cheng, please take a look."

It was Cheng Ming who came, but this time, Cheng Ai did not follow.

Cheng Ming looked at him very strangely, looking and looking, a little unable to react.They have crossed paths with Chen Jin several times.But every time, Chen Jin’s identity seems to be different. The first time he was at the Confucian Temple, he looked like a nerd who didn’t understand the world; then at Tieshipu, he behaved in a daze, saying that he wanted to carve his own seal; , this fellow laughed inexplicably, and was directly driven away...

Up to now, he has suddenly transformed into the owner of a new bookstore.

This identity jump is a bit fast.

Before, Cheng Mingke had always regarded him as a poor scholar: "What's going on with you?"

"I do not understand what you mean."

Cheng Ming originally wanted to ask him how he became the boss, but after thinking about it, this question was too abrupt and irrelevant, the two of them were not even considered friends, so why ask?He coughed dryly, and pretended to look in the store.

The layout of Sanwei Bookstore is quite unique, but the books, pens and inks placed there are really nothing special, they are basically common goods and are sold everywhere.

Soon, Cheng Ming noticed that the calligraphy on the hanging was well written, and the main verse seemed to be well written, such as this sentence: "Floating clouds wander in the mind, and the setting sun makes people feel good."

This writing is very neat and antithetical, and quite interesting rhyme.

There is also this sentence "The boundless fallen leaves are rustling, and the endless Yangtze River is rolling", which is full of momentum.

It's a pity that every piece of calligraphy is written with a sentence, without seeing the front and back, which makes people itch to read.

I couldn't help asking: "Why don't you write the whole poem with your words?"

Chen Jin said: "The author wrote like this, I can't help it."

Cheng Ming went to look at the reserved seal: "This person in the Tao, which one is this?"

Turning around and asking friends who were traveling with me, they all shook their heads, saying they had never heard of it.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in Confucian Temple Street. Many new brushes and inks are displayed in many shops. Most of them are self-recommended by authors.According to the set price, after the sale, the proceeds will be shared with the store.

In this sales process, the price is of course not fixed, there is a floating range.

Few scholars can really be indifferent to fame and fortune. Fame does not only refer to "fame", but also represents fame and fame.

If you want to become famous, creating works is the only choice.

However, there are not many channels for the exposure of works, and there are only a few kinds of back and forth, such as publishing articles, rewarding friends, and publishing books at their own expense.

Behind these methods, it is always inseparable from someone's introduction and admiration, and then you can enter the hall of elegance.It is very difficult for an unknown person with a weak background to stand out.

Therefore, the relationship between teachers and students is very important.

Those with poor connections will choose to send their works to bookstores for consignment, hoping to be appreciated by others, become famous in one fell swoop, and sell for money.

In this case, the store naturally takes the initiative, and will not accept all works, but will go through a certain screening process, and only those who are considered to be of a certain level will be listed for you. , there is a time limit for sales, and if it cannot be sold beyond the date, it will be collected and put on the shelf until the author comes to take it back.

Chen Jin had learned about it when he was researching major stores before, so he gave up on consignment sales and decided to open his own store as the owner and follow the path of self-production and self-sale.

At that moment, Cheng Ming thought that this "man in this way" was some unknown author who consigned the calligraphy at Sanwei Bookstore, and asked, "How much does this painting sell for?"

"A tael of silver."

"I'll pay a hundred cash for one picture."

Cheng Ming generously countered the price. In his opinion, the price was already quite fair. Without the blessing of poetry, the calligraphy itself was only worth fifty cash.

Chen Jin: "..."

Fortunately, I have a good attitude, otherwise I will be overwhelmed. I shook my head: "The author said that it will only sell for one tael of silver, not a penny more, and not a penny less."

Cheng Ming sneered: "He has personality, but he is an unknown person, who would spend a dollar or two to buy his calligraphy?"

Chen Jin spread his hands: "That can't be helped. Since the author has fixed the price, I can't presume to sell it at a lower price."

This is the convenience and benefit of opening a vest, and there is always a way to explain it to the outside world.

Cheng Ming flicked his sleeves: "If you don't sell it, you can count it. You are saving a hundred dollars."

A Confucian scholar in the company persuaded: "Brother Cheng, what is the use of buying this word? If you hang it in the hall or in the study, it will cause jokes instead. I don't know who this 'person in the Tao' is, I don't know the origin, I don't know the origin. It's best to ignore it."

Another Confucian scholar said: "Exactly. I don't think the words are mediocre. I don't know where the poems were copied from. People who hide their heads and show their tails must have no good character."

Chen Jin: "..."

I have no problem with your evaluation of the content of calligraphy, why open your mouth to attack ginseng?
Xiaoqian couldn't hold back when she heard it, and said, "If you want to buy it, buy it, if you don't want to buy it, don't talk nonsense here."

The Confucian scholar glanced at her and said with a sneer, "What I'm telling is the truth, and what's more, if things are put up for sale, is there any reason not to allow others to judge?"

When Xiaoqian heard this, she immediately became angry, and she forbade others to criticize her young master.

Chu Xiucai couldn't listen anymore, and immediately stood up, and said in a loud voice: "Poetry, calligraphy and painting are meant to be seen by the beholder. Even if you don't like it or despise it, you shouldn't gossip and speculate maliciously here. Those who love to talk about right and wrong should swear at shrews." What's the difference?"

This time, Cheng Ming and the others were not happy, and they started arguing with Chu Xiucai.

Chen Jin's face turned cold, and he wanted to chase him away.

There was a long laugh, and someone said: "It's so lively here, I'd like to take a look."

Stepping into a scholar, he is wearing a green robe, a crown of advancement to the virtuous, and three short beards, with an elegant and free temperament.Holding a folding fan in his hand, he just held it without opening it.

Looking at him, Chen Jin's eyes were fixed, and he immediately felt a strong meaning of blood.

This is by no means an ordinary scholar...

　Finally, one or two book friends urged me to update it... Although it is really not fast, it at least shows that someone is waiting to read it, which feels good.
